Russell Findlay, the Conservative leader, accused the Scottish Green Party of "ugly antisemitism" ahead of the SNP conference. The criticism centers on a Green motion that backs Palestine as the sole state in the region, effectively calling for an end to Israel's existence. Findlay also criticized Green MSP Ariane Burgess over her alleged liking of a social media post depicting an Israeli flag with a blood-covered swastika, although she later claimed it was accidental. He urged John Swinney, Scotland’s Deputy First Minister and SNP leader, not to welcome the Greens to the upcoming conference, warning that doing so would legitimize their stance on antisemitism. Findlay warned that Swinney cannot afford to ignore the Greens' actions if he respects Scotland's Jewish community.
